Stage Preview (from letour.fr):

The Lot-et-Garonne serves up some lovely balcony roads early in the stage, when the formation of the breakaway will be closely monitored by the sprinters’ teams, who will have studied the route carefully. If they judge their effort correctly, they won’t be caught out by the day’s escapees. However, amidst the hilly terrain approaching the finish, the Blachon and Simacourbe climbs could pose a problem for those sprinters who don’t feel comfortable in the hills.

Official post-race summary for Stage 13 (from letour.fr)

A superb acceleration on the final straight in Pau from Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) secured his second win of the 2024 Tour de France on Stage 13. Philipsen outsprinted his rivals, beating Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike), Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech), Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) and Nikias Arndt (Bahrain Victorious) to the line at the end of a hectic stage. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) retained the yellow jersey again before the race heads into the Pyrenees this weekend. Pogacar continues to lead by 1’06” from second placed Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), whilst Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) is third at +1’14”.

Adam Yates in the breakaway… an immediate response
After the pre-stage withdrawals of Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and Jesus Herrada (Cofidis), there were 160 riders left in the peloton at the start from Agen. Breakaway attempts were launched as soon as kilometer zero was reached, and the initial protagonists were quickly joined by more attackers to form a very strong group of 23 riders in the front. Those escapees were Tratnik (Visma-Lease a Bike), Yates (UAE Emirates), Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) , Bernard, Skujins (Lidl-Trek), Mohoric (Bahrain-Victorious), Geniets, Gregoire (Groupama-FDJ), Van der Poel, Laurance (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Costa, Powless, Van den Berg (Ef Education Easypost), De Lie, Van Moer (Lotto-Dstny), Lazkano (Movistar), Van den Broek (dsm-Firmenich), Ballerini (Astana), Cort, Abrahamsen (Uno-X) and Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies).

Juan Ayuso stops
The presence in the front group of Yates, 8th overall and 6'59" behind the Yellow Jersey, prompted Visma-Lease a Bike to pull hard to try to prevent the breakaway from succeeding. Around kilometer 25, the Dutch team doubled their efforts by launching an attack in the crosswinds with five of their riders accelerating. Only Joao Almeida, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-dstny) and Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech) withstood the burst of energy from Jonas Vingegaard's teammates, who themselves were soon reinforced by Tratnik dropping back from the breakaway. However, Visma’s offensive was canceled at km 33 by Ineos Grenadiers. Having completed the first hour of racing at an average speed of 48.2 km/h, the 21 remaining escapees had only built a 1'00” advantage. In the peloton Soudal-Quick Step, Jayco-AlUla, Ineos Grenadiers, Arkea-B&B Hotels and Decathlon Ag2r La Mondiale (without a presence in the breakaway) were all pulling hard, with collaboration from Visma-Lease a Bike. The high pace of the stage soon claimed a victim with the abandonment of Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates), who is unwell due to Covid-19. The Spaniard was 9th in the general classification at the start of the day.

Four men stay clear
At km 69 Cort attacked and took Kwiatkowski, Bernard and Gregoire with him to form 'a breakaway from the breakaway'. Passing through Nogaro (IS, km 88.5), the quartet led by Gregoire had a 55” advantage over their former breakaway companions and 1'10” over the main group, which would end up hunting down the 16 pursuers at km 96. The calm would only last until km 104, when Visma-Lease a Bike tried another attack that broke up the peloton. Amongst the men in the top 10 overall, only Adam Yates was relegated to a second group, who nevertheless ended up returning to the safety of the Yellow Jersey group, which would themselves catch the leading quartet at km 115.

Philipsen does it again
There were several waves of attacks towards the end of the stage with Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X) and Richard Carapaz (EF Education – EasyPost) getting away from the bunch on the Côte de Blachon (Cat. 4, km 127), which Johannessen was the first to arrive at the summit of, before repeating that success on the Côte de Simacourbe (Cat. 4, km 136.3). Carapaz and Johannessen were caught 21 km from the finish and whilst there were more attempts to break free from the peloton it was another bunch finish in Pau. The final sprint was somewhat marred by a crash which saw half a dozen riders go down, but Philipsen was not caught up in the trouble and could not be stopped as he flew to the line for another memorable victory.
